Then Trump picks Dr. David J. Shulkin to accomplish that plan.
I’m continually impressed with Donald Trump’s method of attacking a problem. First he defines the problem then gathers professionals around him to come up with solutions, then he along with the experts come up with a plan. It is at this point and not before that he starts to interview people that will carry out his plan.
Most other President Elects will first interview people and ask them individually what their solutions to the problems are, then pick the one they like best.
The perfect example is filling the Secretary for Veteran Affairs post mentioned above. We all know about the failures at the VA hospitals and all the stories of scandal, corruption and Veterans dying while waiting for treatment. Horrible stuff. As so often happens in Washington a figure head is put in charge of “fixing it” and not given any power and no clear understanding of what needs to be done. No idea of what he/she’ll be rewarded for or punished for doing.
Trump is a businessman. They have different ways of “fixing problems” based on whether the problems actually get fixed or not. President Elect Trump after gathering an impressive group of professional people in the military and medical field came up with a 10 point plan back in July of 2016. Only then did he start interviewing people to fill that job.

As you can see from the 10 point plan above, it is a poster child for what Trump calls “Draining the Swamp”. Trump’s term for getting rid of the “Culture of Corruption” that seems to be paralyzing America.
Sound familiar?
That was broken up at least in the F. B. I. by the formation of the “Untouchables”. A flying unit beholding to no one except the Director to renew the integrity of the F. B. I. and give back to people the confidence in law enforcement. Confidence back in the idea that no one is above the law and we all have a level playing field upon which we are judged by what we do not who we know.
As I look through the 10 point plan to resurrect the VA, by setting up a new infrastructure based solely on the idea of helping the Veteran. I see a 10 point plan for rewarding merit and getting rid of the slackers. I see a plan that puts Dr. David J. Shulkin directly in charge of making any changes he sees fit and being answerable only to the President based upon what is best for the Veteran.
It sets up a system to reward merit and punish the employees wasting money. Sets up a hotline with real people taking complaints from Vets.
I fail to see why any Veteran didn’t vote for Trump. If any vote against him in 2020 I’d be amazed.
